Ok, what’s Buck Chuck up to now? That shadow behind you, the strange movement behind the bushes or that bump in the dark of night, is probably not Buck Chuck, more than likely it’s just a burglar. Unlike a burglar, Buck Chuck, The Rochester Country Fair’s Mascot, has been spotted everywhere lately.
Buck Chuck has come up with a new idea to create a teen area at this year’s Rochester Country Fair. The main attraction will be a professional beach volleyball court, alongside cornhole tables, ladder toss and other activities. The new teen area, called Buck Chuck Beach, will be located at the west tree line by Gate D. The volleyball court will be centrally located next to a small hill that will make a natural grandstand for watching the games or just relaxing with friends.
One of our goals is to have a beach volleyball tournament between Old Colony and Old Rochester Regional High School on Saturday afternoon for both boys’ and girls’ teams. On Friday and Sunday, the court along with all the games will be open to first come, first up matches with some simple rules to give everyone access to the court.
Now it seems this rodent has come up with a great idea and now it’s time for Buck Chuck to come up with the “bucks” to fund the project and this is where he needs your help! The campaign to raise the money is called “Bucks for Buck Chuck” and is off and running with an excellent start.
The goal is to raise $4,000 to pay for the equipment and materials needed for the court and games, and we’re pleased to announce that thanks to our local business community and friends of Buck Chuck, we are already half way there! Buck Chuck has been very busy raising funds and planning for the upcoming events, but he still has much work to do.
If you or your business would like to help, please send your donation – large or small any amount is greatly appreciated – to: Town of Rochester Country Fair, P.O. Box 321, Rochester, MA 02770. Please write “Bucks for Buck Chuck” on the memo line to designate your funds for the teen area project.
Thank you and we will see you at the Rochester Country Fair this August 18-20 for some good family fun! Visit us on Facebook or on the web at www.rochesterma.com.
